Shop While You Walk With The Art Faculty

Our Artist Development Programme (ADP) artists’ merchandise are now available from one of 35 curated vending machines located along Sentosa Boardwalk.

The Art Faculty (TAF), in collaboration with Royal Vending Pte Ltd, has made available a range of our ADP artists’ products on the cashless machine. These include the Dino pouch, Picnic Mat, Bamboo Fibre Cup and their latest product – XL Fans. Island goers and tourists will be able to view and purchase these works by our differently-abled artists 24/7, en route to Sentosa.

For the launch of the Boardwalk AdVENDture, our students were invited to a live drawing session and they captivated the crowd with their artistic drawings on the XL Fans. ADP artist Tia Anasha was delighted to have the opportunity to present her fan to the Guest of Honour Senior Minister of State for Trade and Industry and Education Mr Chee Hong Tat. She said: “I felt really happy (that the Minister) can see that everyone’s artwork is perfect in their own way.”

The next time you head to Sentosa, take a walk along the Boardwalk and pick up a gift from our TAF vending machine to help support inclusion and celebrate abilities!

About Us

Pathlight School is the first autism-focused school in Singapore that offers Singapore's mainstream academic curriculum together with life readiness skills. It caters to students on the autism spectrum and related conditions, aged 7 to 18 years, who are cognitively able to access mainstream academic curriculum but require additional support such as smaller class sizes, special accommodations and teaching staff trained in autism.

The School was established by Autism Resource Centre (Singapore) at the invitation of the Ministry of Education (MOE) and started operations in January 2004 with just 41 students. Today, it has over 1,400 students and is one of the fastest growing and progressive special schools in Singapore.

Pathlight Education Programmes

Who will Benefit from a Pathlight Education?

Children on the autism spectrum, who are assessed to be cognitively able to access mainstream academics in a structured group learning environment (average class size of 6 to 12 students).

Children aged 7 years who are able to access mainstream academics but require an additional Foundation year to build their school readiness for a typical mainstream school or Pathlight School's Primary 1 Programme, will benefit from our Primary 1 Foundation Programme. Students from this programme will move on to Primary 1 Standard* the following year.

For students who are suitable to pursue the PSLE, GCE 'O' and 'N' Level examinations, but face challenges in a typical mainstream school, Pathlight offers a unique blend of academic curriculum and life readiness skills. This blended approach is aimed at maximising the potential of the students.
